Jason Momoa Calls Shah Rukh Khan a Better Performer

Hollywood star Jason Momoa has expressed admiration for Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, describing him as a “gentleman” and praising his acting and performance abilities. The remarks, made during a recent promotional interview, highlighted the mutual respect and camaraderie between the two global film personalities.

Momoa and Khan have crossed paths at several international events, most notably at the Joy Awards in Saudi Arabia, where they were also joined by prominent figures from the global entertainment industry. Their public interactions and photographs together have frequently generated excitement among fans across continents. The duo was recently seen together again in Saudi Arabia, renewing interest in their friendly rapport.

During the interview, Momoa acknowledged Khan’s charisma and presence before speaking about their professional admiration. He described their relationship as one built on mutual respect and appreciation for each other’s work. Calling Khan “a sweetheart” and “a gentleman,” Momoa added that he considers the Indian superstar a better actor and performer than himself — a remark that quickly resonated with fans worldwide.

The statement underscores the growing cross-cultural recognition between Hollywood and Indian cinema. Shah Rukh Khan’s influence extends far beyond India, with his films and performances enjoying a global audience, particularly across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and diaspora communities.

Jason Momoa rose to international prominence through his portrayal of Khal Drogo in the television series Game of Thrones, followed by global box-office success as Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe. Known for his commanding screen presence and action roles, he has become one of Hollywood’s most recognisable stars. He is next set to appear as the character Lobo in the upcoming DC film Supergirl, expanding his presence within the superhero genre.

Shah Rukh Khan, often referred to as the “King of Bollywood,” has built a remarkable career spanning more than three decades. With numerous blockbuster films and a vast international fan base, he remains one of the most influential figures in global cinema. His performances have earned critical acclaim as well as major honours, including a National Film Award for Best Actor.

The actor is set to appear next in the film King, which will also feature his daughter Suhana Khan and is expected to release during the Christmas season.

Momoa’s praise reflects the increasing global dialogue between film industries and the shared admiration among artists across cultural boundaries. Their interactions serve as a reminder of cinema’s universal appeal and the ability of storytelling to transcend geography and language.
